Also, congrats to Danydandan who launched an impressive study of the game and walked away a seasoned chess warrior with a commanding Honorable Mention!

And congratulations to everyone else who participated...you are all greatly appreciated for your time and efforts. Chess is a demanding game...you all persevered and should be very proud of yourselves. Not to get all philosophical but...Chess is a mirror of sorts to the game of Life. Thank you all for your participation!

I agree with everyone's comments here, and I'm grateful for the lessons and conversations I had with each and every game I played. I had not played the game for decades, and the interest I had in the game as a child has been revived. I'm certain that this time decades will not pass again for the next stage in playing the game. Although it was obvious, as already stated, that we have among us two who are a cut above the others (the rest of us) we are all winners just for the privilege of having played with these two top winners. And this may come across as my wanting to seem modest, nevertheless, the truth is that I find myself in third place by mere chance, and not for merit.

I hope to be still alive and kicking for the next UM chess tournament, and I wish the same for all.

And a special thanks to Joc for all his volunteer work on managing the games, while also participating as a player.
